For this silly thing! It's been a long time and I never made anything for it. So, here! The newlyweds!
“Marriage?” the Uchiha’s shoulders sagged, his wings drooping to the ground uselessly. He sighed heavily, his hand coming up to pinch at the bridge of his nose, a frown settling on his face. “I’ve only asked you how you got here, how did it come to marriage? Your head really is stuffed with fur, isn’t it?”
@suibokuga saw these in your prompts so I'm tagging it ✌️
Madara is 1000yo snake that cultivated in hopes of becoming a dragon one day. But despite becoming as strong as the dragon god Hashirama and as skillfull in magic as kitsune princess Mito, he still couldnt reach ascension because of his dark dark karma that he achieved by sinful lifestyle. To clear his bottomless dark karma he would need to spend another 1000 years in constant praying and penance and he kinda didnt wanna do all that so he decided to cheat and ask Hashirama for the hand of one of his dragon kin, hoping that having a dragon spouse will change his status and he could become a dragon himself. To persuade Hashirama, he asked to become a part of his family, thinking that any closely related family member of the dragon god would be a dragon too.
Tobirama, the only non-dragon brother of Hashirama, knew exactly why Madara came to his brother with such proposal. Since he knew a way to let them both turn into dragons, he volunteered fo marry Madara. The second reason is he just didnt want to see Madara get what he wants so easily, so he had to ruin it
Madara felt deceived when Hahsirama happily introduced him to his new spouse, but it was his own fault he didnt check before that not all of Hashirama's family members were dragons so he stucked with Tobirama.
Tobirama, fully knowing why Madara wanted to marry, still got his feelings hurt when his new husband didnt show any excitement at seeing him as his spouse, so their first meeting wasnt very loving. In this au Tobirama is much younger than Hashirama or Madara abt 200 yo maybe, so Madara never met him during time of his and Hashirama's active friendship. Also Tobirama is much more brattish here and acts like a jealous wife when Madara doesnt show much reaction to his awkward attempts at flirting(due to his age and lifestyle Madara is less responsive to human-like courting patterns and flirt doesnt even exist in his vocabulary, this guy can just fuck on forest floor if he feels like it)
Having insane thoughts about Mito outliving her husband, her entire generation, her married Clan, her homeland and what it means for her to be the first Jinchuuriki
Mito ramble below:
This was an excuse to draw elderly Mito but also I genuinely believe Mito becoming the jinchuuriki had….ramifications beyond what canon showed us
Like the tailed beasts were canonically free romaning prior to Madara and Hashirama’s gotta-catch-them-all Pokémon spree, you can’t be telling me people weren’t worshipping these giant chakra beasts as some kind of greater spirit or even god akin to yokai worship in Japan. Or at the very least, forces of nature that were something people fear to meddle with. Like in a “I don’t really practice [religion]”, but I’m not going to go desecrate the old shrine by the old tree, that’s bad luck kind of way
So. capturing the tailed beast within you. That’s unheard of. Insanity. Blasphemy. Is Mito still a human, can a human even contain a god? Or is she the fox now, wearing human skin? When her eyes turn red and slitted and she smiles a fox’s smile and her shadow belies something much older and angry and humanity, can anyone really trust that she is in control?
At least she had Hashirama, the god of shinobi to ‘contain’ her. And then she did not.
There has to be a section of people who believe Mito containing the Fox has cursed the land with the Fox’s vengeance. Uzushio, Konoha, the Senju grounds. And when early Konoha embroils itself in war and remembers Madara bringing the fox, or later Konoha experiences the fox Again, and Uzushio falls and so do the Senju,
isn’t that a logical conclusion?
Mito watching history pass her by, “blessed” with the Uzumaki’s long lifespan and whatever the fox dealt her. She married into the Senju, she belongs to that clan and not the Uzumaki anymore. But the Senju is gone and so is her husband and her brother in law, his body never recovered. Her natal clan is scattered to the winds and now she is princess of nothing. The survivors of Uzu, the diaspora that flees to Konoha, bitter over Konoha’s lack of action and claiming she has forgotten her roots, do not approach her.
The empty Senju compound rots around her and Uzushio becomes ruins she cannot return to, people grow up terrified and blaming her in equal breath for misfortune, for thinking that she deserved the power of a god. But what else is left for her now, but to continue living with the kyuubi sealed within her?
I don’t think the vitrol against jinchuuriki only started in naruto’s era, when the fox broke free of Kushina. I think it started much earlier from the very beginning.
So Mito is alone for a very long time, and yet she’s not, because she has with her the very curse that she is the jailer for, and when she finally nears the end and Kushina asks her how she managed it, Mito tells this sweet, cheerful little child to love the fox, because with weight and social ostracisation of being a jinchuuriki plus Uzumaki longevity (if not even the god of shinobi gets the chance to walk with an Uzumaki to the very end of life, who else can?) it is the only way to endure and carry this duty to the very end.
